8 10.17 A 4.0-m thick fill is to be made of a soil with a Proctor maximum dry unit weight of 19.4 kN/m³ and an optimum moisture content of 13.0%. This fill will be compacted at optimum moisture content to an average relative compaction of 92%. The underlying soils are as shown in Figure 10.26. Consolidation tests were performed at Points A and B with the following results: 3.0 m 2.1 m Sample A B Ce 0.59 0.37 Cr 0.19 0.14 y = 14.0 kN/m³ 1.90 1.21 The silty sand is normally consolidated. Determine the ultimate consolidation set- tlement due to the weight of this fill. y = 17.5 kN/m³ σ' (kPa) 75 100 Silty sand (SM) D,= 45%
